Especially if you rate it in terms of hours -- 750 KVA-hours (call it
600 KW-hrs) is a fair bit of energy no matter how it is released. A bit
over 2 gigajoules, if I'm not screwing up my arithmetic.
But then, a single under the table desktop system 250 VA ten minutes UPS
is more than enough to kill you dead.
